2BPaulaB's Review

There was nothing wrong with this recipe, just not very exciting. It was very quick to put together. I used bacon instead of prosciutto. The peppery arugula overwhelmed any flavor of chive or thyme. If I were to make it again I would increase the amount of herbs and add a bit of fresh grated parmesan in the dressing. But since there are so many pasta recipes to try, I probably won't be making it again.

This pasta salad is unbelievebly delicious! I only made two minor tweaks: 1) including 1/4 tsp of ground red pepper and 1 tsp of smoky horseradish to the dressing & 2) used 4 strips of bacon in lieu of prosciutto. Otherwise, I made this one as directed and it was fantastic both hot for dinner and cold the next day for lunch! I will be making this one again and again to my husband's emphatic agreeement. It's a very easy dish to make with dynamite flavors; wouldn't hestiate to serve for company or take to a picnic. Absolutely a keeper recipe for us; Enjoy!

Loved this recipe! I doubled the dressing which made it creamier and I also used spinach. I'm not sure if it is the combination of the creamy dressing w/peas and bacon, but this dish reminds me of the typical Midwest Seven Layer Salad. Which is bit odd because that dish is not one of my favorites. Maybe next time around I'll add a sharp cheese to the mix.

So I could say that I'm a vegetarian, but I'm not. Just poor. I couldn't afford to buy the dried cured ham (proscuttio or whatever) so I substituted Sun-dried tomatoes. I also substituted spinach for the argula and I'm glad I did because this recipe was very 'peppery'. It took me about 40 minutes to make this with the prep. I felt this was very tasty. I will definitely make it again. : )

I made this exactly as directed in the recipe for a light dinner last night, and really liked it, but it was even better today for lunch. It is much creamier than in the photo. The flavors really developed overnight, so I'd recommend it especially as a make-ahead dish. When I ate the leftover serving today, I added a handful of grape tomatoes and it was delicious. Will definitely make this again soon!

Namaste's Review

I'm rating the dressing, not the full salad, though I used most of the salad ingredients too. I made the dressing but changed the chives to dill and put it on a chopped salad made of arugula, romaine, diced ham, tomatoes, swiss cheese, and black olives. I topped it with toasted almonds, and it's definitely a keeper, mostly because of this phenomenal dressing.
